A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

The Anal Starfish Tattoo

As promised, something fun and ass-related for you, with R’s starfish tattoo — I’m not sure if I pity his partners or am jealous of the hilarity of the scene — done by that poor bastard Tattoo Ron from Tattoo Centre Alkmaar in Alkmaar, The Netherlands. Continue reading for the full tattoo and an action shot (of the tattooing procedure, not some other sort of anus-related action) .

    My balls are really in the unfinished 8-ball. And, NO, I’m not gay. My wife loves the starfish very much.
    I did it because afull bodysuit means really full, also my ass.

    That is priceless! I totally wish I had thought of that first, haha! Now my brain is going to be racing like crazy, trying to come up with another good idea for an ass tattoo…hmmmmmm. But yeah, a bit of a shocker for a sexual partner, eh?! In a good/funny/hysterical way. Wow, I totally love this!

    that’s both hilarious and disgusting.

    but, aside from that, is it just my opinion, or is that a really badly done tattoo?

    Hmmmm, I have fire tatted on my ass. As far as itching, there wasn’t any, and actually, the healing process was shorter than normal. My tat was done with me on my knees, and my knees hurt more than the actual process.

    It is true, it was not itching at all. The healing took about a week. I will send the healed starfish as soon as possible.

    #67 ewwwwww!!! hahaha!!! This is soooooo funny!!! One of mine is on my backside too, although it is on my right cheek. It is a blue Motorola batwing “M” with acircle around it about 2 inches in diameter. I got it in 2000 when I lost my 22 year position with the co. due to them going offshore.

    Someone should interview this guy. It would be really interesting to know how he came up with this idea and how was the whole process. How do you tell a tattooist “I want to get my asshole tattooed”? I also would like to know what is that scar he has.
    Is it my idea or is there where his balls should be? I may be imagining things now… this freaked me out a little
